Hey everyone. The past couple of months have been truly great! Everything seemed to be coming together, and great progress had been had! However last Monday I hurt my lower back. I suspect its a bulging or herniated disc. I am not in terrible pain, and actually seems to be healing just fine, and if I could continue to rest and take it easy. I believe I would come close to being normal. I don't have health insurance, and I have only been working at a new job for 4 months. It is a heavy industrial job, were I'm lifting, welding, and grinding on rims all day.
Im so lost and confused on what to do, I have no personal doctor, health insurance or anything of the sort. I live in south Carolina, and I don't believe workers comp can be payed before working somewhere for 6 months....Christmas is right around the corner, and I just feel so overwhelmed and truly don't know which direction to go.
The pain is not terrible, and is easily bearable at the moment, the problem is the heavy lifting at the job, and I believe it will become worse and worse. The reason I am so terrified is that when I was 10 years old my father injured his back irreparably, and spent the remainder of his life isolated, alone, and in terrible pain. I am very terrified of this happening to me. Its probably my only and worse fear in this life.
I have begun to search and put in applications for jobs that I believe would be more suitable.
I'm just asking for someone with considerable knowledge in these areas, from back pain, to work laws and so forth to help me.
Im also going to consult some chiropractors today, and see what they think.
